Book your umrah taxi

Umrah taxi booking takes four short steps. The published fare for every vehicle appears as soon as you have chosen where you are going, and nothing is taken from you here. You pay the driver at the end.

Journey

Hotel, airport, station or address

For hourly hire only

When

If you are landing, so we can watch the arrival board

Party

A folding wheelchair travels in the Staria or Hiace boot at no extra charge. Tell us before booking if the passenger cannot leave the wheelchair.

Contact

With the country code, for example +44 7700 900123

To get the fare in writing by email as well

Nothing is booked by sending this and nothing is taken from you. The driver is paid in SAR, in cash or by bank transfer.

What happens after you send it

Four things, usually inside an hour.

  1. We read it and price it against the published table. If your journey is on the list, you already know the number.
  2. You get it in writing on WhatsApp: the vehicle, the fare and what it covers.
  3. You say yes or you do not. Nothing is held against you either way, and no deposit has been taken.
  4. The driver is assigned. His name, number and the vehicle registration reach you the day before you travel.

The four steps

  1. Journey: what kind of journey it is
  2. When: date and time
  3. Vehicle: passengers, bags and vehicle class
  4. Contact: where we send your fare

Step 1: Journey

  • What kind of journey: airport or city transfer (one fixed fare), ziyarat tour (two hours, the vehicle waits), or by the hour (three hours minimum)
  • Picking up from: an address, hotel, airport, station or meeqat in Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah or Taif
  • Going to: the same list, or an exact address you type yourself
  • Which city, where the pick-up or drop-off is general rather than a named point
  • How many hours, for hourly hire

Step 2: When

  • Date
  • Pick-up time
  • Flight number, if you are landing. Give us the number and we watch the arrival board, so a delay never costs you the vehicle, and waiting at the airport is already in the fare.

Step 3: Vehicle

  • Passengers and large bags
  • Vehicle: Toyota Camry (4 seats, 2 large + 2 hand bags), Hyundai Sonata (4 seats, 2 large + 2 hand bags), Hyundai Staria (7 seats, 6 large + 4 hand bags), GMC Yukon XL (7 seats, 6 large + 4 hand bags), Toyota Hiace (11 seats, 10 large + 10 hand bags), Toyota Coaster (19 seats, 15 large + hand bags in racks), Coach (44 seats, 1 large + 1 hand bag per seat)
  • Child seat: not needed, one child seat, two child seats, or a booster seat
  • Accessibility: not needed, folding wheelchair, or help walking to the car

Step 4: Contact

  • Your name
  • WhatsApp number, with country code
  • Email, to get the fare in writing
  • Language for your driver: English, Arabic, Urdu or no preference
  • Anything else we should know

Your fare summary shows the journey, the timing, the party and the vehicle, and confirms: whole vehicle, no sharing, no deposit and no card details, paid to the driver at the end.

Worth including before you send it

  • Your flight number. The single most useful thing you can give us. It turns a guess into a tracked arrival.
  • How many bags, not how many people. Bags decide the vehicle.
  • Any Zamzam. Five litres each takes real space, and it changes which vehicle we send.
  • Ages of children, so the right seat is in the car before it leaves.
  • Mobility needs, such as a folding wheelchair.
  • The hotel name, not just the district. Makkah has a lot of hotels with similar names.

What booking does and does not commit you to

You are agreeing to:

  • A fare, once you accept the quote in writing
  • Being ready at the time you gave us
  • Telling us if your plans change

You are not agreeing to:

  • Paying anything now
  • Giving card details, ever
  • A cancellation fee before the day of travel
  • Sharing the vehicle with another party

The day before, you will know who is collecting you

Twenty four hours before you travel we send the driver’s name, his mobile number and the vehicle registration. Ask and we will also send a photograph of the actual vehicle.

Before you book

No. Sending this is asking for a price. You confirm afterwards, or you do not.

All questions and answers

Still have a question?

Ask on WhatsApp in Arabic, English or Urdu, at any hour.

WhatsApp us

Would rather just message?

Send the pick-up, the drop-off and the date on WhatsApp and skip the form entirely. Somebody reads it at any hour, because Umrah flights land at any hour.
